topics on the AuD

[George Cire]

It's my guess that the decision to "upgrade" admissions requirments was 
made by non-audiology faculty and staff.  The Baylor AuD program is 
housed in prestigeous Medical School.  Again, my guess is that the 
admissions standards are being held up to those of the applying medical 
school students.  As far as chemistry is concerned,  for those who apply 
to various allied health fields as Physical Therapy and Occupational 
Therapy, pre-professional course work is the same as that of other 
Biomedical pre-professional courses, ie. Pre-Med.  Look at the admissions 
requirments for Optometry school sometime.(AuD is modeled after OD 
somewhat)  

If the professional degree AuD will fly in the long haul some of this 
will be necessary.  For some one who is already an Audiologist or is in a 
current Masters program, it's a bit scary.
